Worming tablets and behaviour
Posted: Sat Sep 09, 2017 3:52 pm
Hello All
I'm asking for help again, backstory...we have had a 6 year old indoor rescue cat for 8 weeks, his previous owner got rid when she had baby. Oscar is a gorgeous large boy who the vet says is a little over weight ( 6.2 kgs!), who loves his food. It has taken us weeks to build up trust and for him to settle in.
The vet gave me some worming tablets and I attempted to administer last night. I managed to get an 1/8 down him into treat which he ate...and put the rest mashed up in his wet food. Well that was my fatal error and Oscar was not having any of it...he refused to eat his food.
Well I caved in and opened a new pouch without worming tablets and he still refused...I've give him some dry food today (without worming tablets) and he ate some but not a lot. Tonight I've put down his favourite turkey in jelly ...and he has turned his nose up!
He is now camping out under the Dinning room table, probably trying to work out ways to kill us in our sleep!!!
Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong and tell me what to do. This cat marlarky is harder than you think
Many thanks xxxx
